Jackie had been reading her Charms book, trying to mark selections that she thought would be helpful to the Club. In her lap, she held her scruffy-looking teddy bear with a blue octopus-blob handkerchief tied around its neck. She knew she was fifteen, and probably looked silly or immature for bringing the bear downstairs, but she didn't care. After Soren and Akira had left, and Gabe said 'good-bye', she found solace in something familiar. Besides, it was soft and cuddly, and good company.

When Ari bounded to the seat next to her, Jackie looked up in surprise. "Hey, Ari!" She smiled, setting her book aside. "I've been okay, I guess. Adjusting... so many things happening, you know..."

"How have you been?" Jackie asked. "I heard we're having a Winter Ball this year... any prospects on your list? Should we just become part of Sly's harem?" She raised her eyebrows, teasing.

arisu_ryusaki August 29 2006, 02:54:13 UTC

She nodded knowingly at that. "Yeah, there has been a bit to adjust to," she agreed. But they didn't need to talk about that. There were plenty of more things to discuss that were far more interesting and far less serious. "You weren't working, were you?" she asked, sneaking a glance at the title of the book Jackie had just set down. "Jackie! It's Thursday! The day before Friday, aka the first day of the weekend. You shouldn't be doing a crazy thing like homework!" Perish the thought! ...Even if Ari's logic didn't make too much sense, in typical Ari fashion ( ... )

jackie_zhang August 29 2006, 14:14:11 UTC

Jackie giggled at Ari scolding her, trying to poke a hole in Ari's logic (which probably would be unsuccessful - but even so, Jackie still tried). "But Ari... if I get it finished now, I won't have to worry about it during the weekend." She grinned. Not that she had Charms homework to finish (actually, she had a bit of history to work on but she always procrastinated with that subject), but Ari didn't know that ( ... )

arisu_ryusaki August 29 2006, 14:28:03 UTC

Ari waved a hand dismissively at that. "That's what CLASSES are you," she corrected her. Doing your homework in your free time? Completely overrated. It was so much more fun to just work during the classes you didn't like and then you were free to slack off all evening!

...One wonders how Ari managed to get into any classes this year with thinking like that.

Hee. Now there's an idea! "I might just have to. I don't think he'd go without a bit of- well, loads of- help." Actually, she was fairly convinced that he was planning on sitting in the deserted library as the dance went on. And that wasn't at all expectable. She would just have to talk him into going and explain that it's for his girl training and such. And by talk, she meant drag him off, quite possibly against his will. Yes, Ari was most definitely more persistent than persuasive ( ... )

jackie_zhang August 29 2006, 14:49:34 UTC

Jackie giggled again. "I would try to do my homework in classes, but I can only get maybe half of it done then." She grinned. Her favorite classes were the ones she could zip by easily; it was her not-so-favorite ones that she had to study more. "You can get all of it done then? Even in Potions?" She could just imagine Snape chewing her head off if she even attempted to do homework in his class.

"If you can get Luc to go, then I'll go just to see!" She winked. She wondered if Ari would try to get Luc to dance with Avery, seeing as Soren had left, but even Ari wasn't that cruel... was she?

"I think Charlie might go just to spike the punch." Jackie grinned. "Or maybe Grady and her will just make an appearance before disappearing..." She really didn't want to think what they'd disappear to do, but that was better left unsaid and unthought in Jackie's opinion. "I'm not sure... I thought Charlie might like to flaunt her man about." Another chuckle. "Though I bet she'll hate to wear dress robes. Maybe she'll force him to ( ... )

arisu_ryusaki August 31 2006, 19:00:39 UTC

"Pfft, do I look like I have a death wish? I'll have to know, I'm not completely mad." Well, that much was debatable but hush. "Potions is one class you don't want to work in." That would be sure to set Snape into a rage and she very much doubted the culprit would come out of it too well. "But I can get a lot of it done in other classes. They key is just to sit in the back and make sure to look up a lot, like you're actually paying attention. And then you can steal notes from someone else later." It was a completely brilliant plan in Ari's mind. It had served her well in the past ( ... )

jackie_zhang August 31 2006, 22:23:49 UTC

Jackie chuckled at Ari's homework strategy. "I guess that would beat Avis' way... she just falls asleep instead, despite the glares and the docked points we get from Snape." She grinned, then tilted her head in thought. "I'd try that, Ari..." she winked, "but I'm the one they get the notes from."

"Maybe... you should try teaching Luc to dance too..." Jackie suggested. "Maybe then he'll feel... less awkward? And I think you have about two weeks to give lessons..." She would offer to help, but just getting Luc to agree to the entire thing would be a feat in itself. Besides, she didn't think she could dance quite as good as Ari.

She giggled though at the thought of Charlie and Grady. "I want to see her in dress robes though..." Jackie grinned. "I don't think I've ever seen her in a dress... but if you do sneak in a camera, be sure to hide it. Or she'll destroy it... and us ( ... )

"She sleeps in potions?" Ari repeated, sounding completely shocked. "Brave girl, that Avis." Even if Ari was capable of sleeping in class, she wouldn't dare try and sleep through potions. It was far more obvious than just working on something else and it was also far more likely to anger Snape. "I don't know how even survives to tell the tale." But Jackie did have a point. Who else would the 5th years go to if it wasn't for Jackie? She very much doubted Charlie took notes and Avis slept during class. Possibly Tatiana but Jackie seemed like a more likely candidate. Poor girl. Forced to pay attention in all of her classes for her housemates. She must have the Gryffindor selfless spirit.

Ari's eyes lit up at the suggestion. "Oh that would be just GRAND!" she cried, clapping her hands together in excitement. "I'm sure he'll feel awkward no matter what we do but maybe he'll look less awkward and that's all that matters." Spoken like a true shallow girl. The only hard part would be getting him to agree. Hurm. But she was sure she could ( ... )

jackie_zhang September 1 2006, 19:54:56 UTC

"Yeah... but she's done it for a while... so I'm sure she has a system." Jackie laughed at Ari's expression. "Hiding in the back, making sure the potions' smoke screen covers her..." She shrugged. "I really have no idea since I usually am busy with my cauldron and trying to help Charlie without looking like I'm helping her... because you know if Snape catches me, there goes another ten points from Gryffindor. You'd have to ask Avis how she manages..." She grinned ( ... )

arisu_ryusaki September 1 2006, 21:46:59 UTC

"I may just have to..." She was horribly curious as to how she managed to do it without being caught. It was an amazing thing to be able to do, she mused ( ... )

jackie_zhang September 1 2006, 22:37:03 UTC

((REALLY? I'm sorry! I didn't know... want me to edit ( ... )

arisu_ryusaki September 5 2006, 02:07:03 UTC

'funky shake-your-body type thing?' That was one way to put it. And the thought of Luc doing anything of the sort sent Ari into a fit of giggles. "I dunno; depends on what type of music they're going to play. I suppose he could just learn both." Maybe because she just really, really wanted to see Luc attempt the latter option. Who would have pegged Ari as a sadist? "I don't think learning to dance has ever killed anyone." Then again, Luc wasn't just anyone so who knew what the results would be? Well, it was a chance Ari was willing to take ( ... )

jackie_zhang September 5 2006, 02:59:18 UTC

"I'm sure they'll play both fast and slow songs... and Luc will probably end up as a wallflower, but... I suppose if you drag him to the dance floor, he might... loosen up?" Jackie looked hopeful, although her eyes danced with merriment at the thought of Luc attempting such a thing. "And the first step to that would be teaching him to dance... so we'll try next week?" She grinned.

"Very true. If Charlie goes, or is dragged to it, though it will probably be a battle of wills between her and Grady, and I'm putting my money on Charlie - it will be quite an event." Although putting Luc in the same room as Charlie might lead to disastrous things... like Luc fainting in the middle of it. Hmm... would a Luc drunk on Charlie's spiked punch be less awkward? That required much thinking.

Jackie cringed slightly as Ari labeled Gabe her first crush and seemed to disprove. "Um... yeah... well... we're not talking right now. I told him I needed space away from him, and I... I think I'm getting over him." She shrugged. "But I... well, ( ... )

arisu_ryusaki September 9 2006, 01:37:44 UTC

"Pfft, OF COURSE I'll drag him out." Silly Jackie for acting like it was a possibility that she wouldn't. Oh yes, she had plans for Luc. There was no way he was going to just hide in some corner with a book at the dance, not on Ari's watch. "Next week would be MARVELOUS. I'll tell him that... I don't know. I'll come up with it later." Actually, she would probably just pounce on him and drag him off but still.

Nod, nod. Hurm. Charlie or Grady... Difficult. "Yeah, I agree." While Grady had the age and size advantage, Charlie would most likely come out victorious. But Jackie was right; it would be an interesting thing to see.

What? It was true. As far as Ari was concerned, he was her first crush so what was wrong with labeling him as such? She didn't see anything bad about it. There were plenty of worse things she could call him, after all ( ... )

jackie_zhang September 9 2006, 02:20:05 UTC

"Great!" Jackie became excited. The ball was starting to sound like fun, even if they weren't going with dates or as couples... because really, who needed that? Going with friends was the best, especially when she didn't want to think about romance and relationships. "Luc should know Phoebe, right? Maybe I can drag her out too." If she wasn't going with Dustin.

She grinned. A party really wasn't a party with Charlie there... and if she was there, it would definitely be a night to remember.

"No, we're not talking." She confirmed with a nod. She shrugged at Ari's comment, trying to be positive. "Well... school and quidditch and other things will keep me distracted and keep my mind off him... It actually worked pretty well before all the craziness happened... so I think it'll work now." She smiled, hoping it would be true. She paused, remember Soren's note, and wondered when she could talk to Ari about the Club"Um... I'm not sure about the making up part though. I think he was upset that I lied, so I don't know..." She ( ... )
